About me

I’m Paty, a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, proudly serving families across the Phoenix area and West Valley — including Goodyear, Buckeye, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Glendale, Surprise, Peoria, and Tolleson. As a bilingual (English–Spanish) doula with a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, I bring both heart and knowledge into my care. My background allows me to support families not just physically, but emotionally and educationally — helping them feel calm, confident, empowered and deeply connected throughout their journey. Since I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of working in maternal health care. Becoming a doula is truly the fulfillment of that dream — a calling that lets me serve families during one of life’s most transformative seasons. As a mother of four, including two children I birthed myself, I understand the beauty, vulnerability, and sacredness of giving birth. My mission is to walk beside you — to remind you that you are capable, strong, and deserving of care, respect, and love. At Madre Moon Doula, I honor the mind, body, and spirit of every birthing person. Together, we’ll embrace the sacredness of bringing new life into the world — one birth, one heartbeat, and one moon phase at a time. 🌕

After a difficult first birth I knew I wanted a doula for extra support with my second, and I am so glad I found Paty! She was a wonderful person to have in my corner. She brought so much clarity and peace throughout my pregnancy. She was easy to talk to and very responsive to my questions. I felt calm and confident in labor and so much of that is from Paty’s expertise and loving presence. She also helped me feel so safe and supported in the postpartum period. I wish I had her around my first baby, it would’ve made such a difference. I highly recommend Madre Moon, you will not regret it. It’s such an important time in women’s lives and everyone deserves to be supported by someone like Paty.

Working with Paty from Madre Moon Doula was an absolute joy. Even though I wasn’t experiencing her doula services firsthand, I saw so clearly the warmth, kindness, and professionalism she brings to everything she does. She was incredibly organized, responsive, and thoughtful throughout the entire creative process, making our collaboration smooth, easy, and genuinely enjoyable. Anyone working with her—whether as a client or a partner—will feel supported, understood, and deeply cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!
